Delphin Waterproof Streaming Media Player -- 8GB $220 | 16GB $260 |
I have an Aerb. It was a transformative device for me. It's a bare-bones mp3 player that has gotten me through five summers of daily immersion, so it owes me nothing. I'll mourn it when it goes to the device boneyard.
I've seen the Delphin. Aside from being way too rich for my blood, my understanding is that the apps are limited and that Downpour and OverDrive can't be downloaded. So as limited as my Aerb, just in a different manner; in some ways I'm better off being able to access OD for swim listens than my Audible library. However, the functionality is certainly spiffy.

Aside from being able to sideload DRM-free content, the Downpour app is quite nice; it's up there with Audible and OverDrive. The Tantor app is awful; I'd never listen to Tantor content with the app.
